The only way Novak would lose to Nadal, on this court, if he played like he did today or like he against Wawrinka at AO.

Rafa needs Novak to play ***** for him to beat him, on a HC that is.

It's not fiction, it's a damn fact.

No it is not. You are thinking about 2011, it is now 2013. Things change in tennis. It may be that Djokovic will continue to beat Nadal on a hc, but it may not be the case. Djokovic has to make it to Nadal first , no?
